Protesters Begin Effort to ‘Occupy Wall Street’

this article is a total lie. i am down on wall street. not a thing happening except the oktoberfest on stone street. quit trying to stir shit up :) thanks.

Thank you for fighting censorship and publishing this information.

There is a correction though…

Anonymous isn’t simply a hacker group.
Most of the supporters of Anonymous are not hackers, and they do not support nor condone illegal acts.

That is what this is all about.

What is there to criticize about the goals here? Do you WANT the corporate influence in politics that we currently have? Isn’t this something we can actually agree on?

hate to tell them, wall street is mostly residential now

The whole movement lost credibility when it involved those morons from Anonymous. At this point, their motives are now suspect, despite their propaganda. If they support Anonymous actions of leaking innocent people’s information for no legitimate purpose, then their statement about caring about people’s safety is almost guaranteed to be a lie.

Remember, if there really is a devil, he will approach with open arms, promising peace and prosperity, not frothing at the mouth like a rabid dog.

An encamped element in our society is proud to call itself “conservative”, but what is it that they seek to conserve? They have exposed America NOT as an ideal – a clearly superior way of organizing political, economic, and cultural life – but as a laggard to other comparable societies by the standard benchmarks of modernity. As “conservatives” become more transfixed by power; We, as a people, become less impressive in all other capacities. America’s failure to keep pace is indicative of a deeper failure in, what might be called, social imagination. In today’s world, originality will be the key to success, not the preservation of a worn-out status quo.

More people are #OccupyWalMart then #OccupyWallStreet.

You have our support here in Spain,we are at the Madrid stock exchange,the fight is in the streets ,not sitting home on your McDonalds butts……Also a popular sign at the 15-m protests in Spain(TURN OFF YOUR T.V. AND PLAY STATION AND JOIN THE HUMAN RACE…….

What Obama has done should be on the NEWS but it seems that our Nightly News Castors have pussied out, He dismissed MILLIONS OF CTS OF CRIMINAL FEDERAL MORTGAGE FRAUD OFF BANKS LEAVING US TO WORK OUR PROBLEMS OUT WITH CRIMINALS, WITH BANKS OBAMA HAS CAUSED THIS FORECLOSURE CRISIS, IT WAS NOT SOMETHING LEFT FROM BUSH IT WAS CREATED BY OBAMA FOR OBAMA AND THE BANKS, I THINK OBAMA GOT HIS PAYOFF BEFORE HE TOOK OFFICE FROM BANKS, THE DISMISSAL OF MORTGAGE FRAUD CLAIMS SHOULD BE AND IS ENOUGH TO IMPEACH HIM WHERE THE HELL IS OUR CONGRESS?

Idealist or just stupid,well now we know where the mini frontal lobes are gathering. Look people are pissed and rightly so. With that said they might as well close down the Fulton fish market. No one owes anyone a job, If there is money to be made in commerce jobs will follow. No one is going to enter into a zero sum business,not even those protesters. Theey are in the wrong place,blaming the worng people. Next time hold your protest in Washington and puke their bile on the political system/party of their choice.

ABC is a part of the problem too. “Hundreds” of protesters? TRY THOUSANDS. Why are you intentionally understating the numbers?

Don’t be an idiot, Dave. Seriously, “sharia law”??? I’m pretty sure the Wing Nut crowd started up with the crap about “sharia law” just to be able to identify the most ignorant folks in their midst. What a pathetic effort at changing the subject, or are we to believe you don’t get that this article and the posts here are about folks finally getting sick and tired of corporate influence in politics and rampant corporate greed. I don’t think AFP, or whoever posted the Craigslist ad you answered, is going to pay you at the full rate for this lame attempt at a diversion.

Last dying death-rattle gasp of a leftist sunset, milquetoasts dissolving, drug-addled cloudy-headed college-dropouts chanting like baboons, trying to live-out some hollywood fantasy of the 60′s that never was, about to get crushed by the steam-roller that is the dawn of the American Empire.

Read some George Friedman, figure it out, or get LEFT-behind and laughed at by your grandkids, losers.

corporations are people, too. (yay, Mitt!) — leftists and thug union twats think its just fine to gag the corporations who give us jobs and products and services and anchor our economy in a savagely competitive world market, but then let the unions be able to buy off politicians, LIKE OBAMA, who then turn around and gift OUR TAX MONEY to the union thugs in bogus ‘stimulus’ (or whatever is the current euphemism for corruption)…

Shuck off the union disease, the leftist disease, that is dragging our mighty empire into the dirt. It’s time for America to awake and take her place at the seat of power and rule with Justice and Benevolence, leading the whole world into a new age of stability and prosperity. 50 years from now, school textbooks will show leftists as the subversive traitors and dead weight to progress that they in fact are.

Solidarity! This movement needs much more active support – so if you can – GO THERE!

ANONYMOUS is the only legitimate group in the bunch!!!

They say they are the 99%. Meanwhile, they are really the 50% that currently pays NO federal taxes and are STILL complaining. WHY? … because they are too mediocre to be successful so they blame others instead.

Lol. Being against “wall street” is like being against “bad stuff”. Could they be protesting anything more general? Really it’s just “we hate people with money”. What specifically do they want? Ask any one of them and they’ll stare at you dumbly (well, more so than usual).

At least ABC covered the story. When went looking at the other major networks hoping to see photos or video, nothing. It was ignored. This is barely starting, waiting to see if “so-called” tea party” idiots rush in and start trouble then blame it on those protesting peacefully.

I am hoping this movement grows quickly, spreads nation wide. We need protests in Washington DC, tens of thousands of people.

OOHH NO– evil capitalists that create jobs to allow people to take care of their families. OOHH NO– evil capitalists who create jobs allowing their employees to pay taxes which pay for all sorts of welfare, medicare , Social security programs. OOHH NO–evil capitalists that expect you to act like an adult and take care of yourself rather than looking to big government to take care of you. OOHH NO–evil capitalists that want to let you realize your full potential rather than being jealous of those that have done better than you–maybe if you spent a little more time working and a little less protesting….hmmmm.

Wall St. is responsible for the current economic crisis. Speculators do not produce anything of value, they are merely leeches. Large sums are shifted around among the few, and the many are left with nothing of substance. We need a return of our manufacturing base, which creates real wealth that is shared among all social strata. Speculation on stocks needs to be heavily regulated. And corporations and the wealthy need to pay their fair share of taxes.

I applaud this effort to try to shed some light on the mechanisms that have left us — the 99% who don’t profit from the gambling that goes on on Wall St. — reeling.

“It is a crime for two or more people in a group to have their faces covered.” Ridiculous. So you if you walk down the street in a snow storm with a group of friends and theree of you have your faces covered you can be arrested? It’s about time someone sent a strong message to Wall Street, the creators of this mess, balied out with trillions of tax dollars, not paying any consequences, only getting richer and richer off the backs of the middle class. It’s incredible that none of the top execuitves at the big banks are not in jail.

don’t forget that Goldman Sachs and Barney Frank are “tighter” than best friends!

Well, as expected the great “Day of Rage” turned out to be just another far left-wingnut street party. From the picture, it looks like about 30 people showed up to party. I saw where some idiot said there were “thousands” there – RIGHT!!! Another one was wishing the Tea Party people would show up so they would start a fight and the numbnuts could get some publicity out of it. What a freakin’ joke!!! You ‘tards better watch out – you’re picking on his friends that pay his campaign bills and he won’t stand for that. He will be calling out the troops on you if you get carried away. It’s for sure Bloomie won’t do it.

half of Americans don’t pay income tax,—they pay sales tax, they pay excise tax if they have a car, they pay gas tax, they pay state tax, they pay all the consumption taxes and due to their low income, when you add up all the taxes they pay, they pay, usually more in taxes than people who make more and consume less taxable items and get home mortage deductions. The poor pay no FEDERAL income tax, that’s all. They pay all the other taxes.

It sounds like this group has some good ideas. I say outlaw lobbying, end the trade deficit, bring US jobs lost to China etc. back (this is why alternative energy companies are failing – they can’t compete with Chinese manufacturers using slave labor). Have everything we buy cheaply made in China and sooner or later no one in the USA can afford even those low priced products due to lost jobs and wages. Stop putting the cart before the horse – end the China trade deficit and bring back jobs from China THEN create new manufacturing jobs here. You can’t replace most of lost jobs in textiles etc. with solar jobs. And why did the USA borrow money from China? Ridiculous! Also end the extreme profits on oil, lower/cap the price of gas and stop wasting money on wars! Oil, war, and pharma cost too much/we can’t afford!

Complete snore. The sixties was full of these fools and looks like the vermin are back. Not any more interesting than they were back then. Bored Rich Kids with nothing better to do than hate.

It truly makes me wonder if and because we slowly went overseas with our manufacturing that we are now in debt up to our eyeballs with China that it is irreversible? ie….Boeing Airplane has manufacturing established to build the fuselage on their 787 and after the capital investment, if they pulled out it would cause a catastrophic punch to their own internal economy? To bring allot of manufacturing back to the states after shutting down and ramping up in a foreign land….well that is really Pro America isn`t it? No matter whom it is? For many it would probably close their doors for good and cause a mass bankruptcy they have all down sized streamlined and exercised every ounce of fat off to yield the greatest , greediest corporate profits this nation has every witnessed……….makes one wonder why we don`t hear any remote discussions in this field coming out of Washington.

i don`t have a problem at all with capitalism, creating wealth and living comfortable….every body wants that…………Morals and ethics guide those principals so that all come out at the end of the day happy and filled…with a good hearty paycheck to take home on Friday afternoon. That was along time ago…CORPORATE has pinched the garden hose off…..prostituting them selves to foreign Johns for what they can get and have all but turned their backs on their fellow country men……there is something to be said about using your own backyard as a toilet and the neighborhood is starting to complain loudly , they can`t stand the stench anymore and are starting to become exposed deeply for what they are doing….perhaps what it will take is solidarity in boycotting from the American people telling them we are done with the practice of settling for dog food and cigarette butts……people aren`t concerned about paying for their children’s college, they are concerned about them still living at home after 26 yrs. old because they can`t even afford food let alone an apartment to get started. We are starting to live like the third world nations that we give our manufacturing jobs too. Our country is broke because we don`t have the substantial tax base out of workers paychecks like we once did. How do you collect a tax base off of minimum wage workers when they are forced to turn right back around and tap into the Federally funded financial assistance programs ie….natural gas, electricity and heating oil.

Did these people drive cars (thus burning oil), to get to NYC to protest? Hmmm….doesn’t that just support all those wealthy people they hate so much? Did they pack homegrown vegetables with them to eat while in NYC or will they support wealthy restaurant owners and load up at McDonald’s, etc.? Funny how most of these people hate the rich but they probably buy lottery tickets every week too. Losers….

Bleh, they protest on the day off of ever financier, at a location not frequented by said financiers, far from any politicians and without a permit, inviting the authorities to arrest them.
In short, a zero impact protest, on the wrong day, the wrong location and with essentially only a few cameras as witness.
Apparently, the protestors confuse Wall street workers with those who DO have power and wealth.

Where is the coverage of this protest on television?

An Insider’s view as to the policy and politics that is destroying the economy

Mr. President…NOTHING CAN of get us back to WORK UNTIL…CITY, STATE and FEDERALLY FUNDED OFFCIAL and ADMINISTRATIVE EMPLOYEES (NOT RANK AND FILE) DO THE RIGHT THING. THERE WILL BE NO JOBS CREATED—SAVED will be for those allowed to CONTINUE and OVERSTATE REPORTS….Here is a summary of the 10 pages…in FOR- PROFIT “0wners/Director’s” can lie about our “sales/clients” but the bottom line tells the story…in NON-PROFITS these “thousands of offices business/economic “claiming” to create jobs, claiming to help the small business community, to help Veterans, to help Minorities and the Homeless talk the funding words needed for THEIR personal funding—see Atlanta, Buffalo, S.I. and in every community. History has shown minimal work ethics, minimal if any results, and maximum increases in their budget and personal salary as they fail to deliver the “numbers in relation to clients” reported and will continue to repeat overstating numbers for continued funding and those that say no to doubling up the clients/numbers or work ethics or unnecessary spending….
Administration knows about the false “accomplishments—vouchers, billing, reports and clients” and well documented, but being the taxpayer is the bottom line…the small business owner whom they are to teach and help does not work this way. Several government small business development offices coupled with their CUNY/SUNY partner show half the accomplishments of previous leadership, and they are allowed to increase their budget 70% despite their reports and talk of “cutbacks in spending” that has not only increased spending, but added unnecessary political favors as far as help, along with limited accomplishment as they are rewarded for mediocrity and give themselves out of control raises that in FOR-PROFIT would have them fired rather than rewarded. When in the wrong hands Mr. President-it is not the system—it’s about people and their integrity or lack of it—not all but far too many—as honesty and accountability have been replaced by out of control politics, ego’s, lies and greed. So $60,000 can become $500,000, we can allow Citytime, HELP USA and the many Corona Elmhurst’s. If you care to read and understand your Freedom documents, reports and disclosures, they say it all… the fear of your lets “create jobs and help the small business community” administrators Mr. President is public awareness…and 50-60% of these City, State and Federally funded offices are corrupt sponges soaking up the taxpayers money. Those many “create jobs—so called business development/educational centers” in partnership with the S.B.A. “And on CUNY/SUNY campuses has one of their funders (which is us) list these organizations as “Authors” in their disclaimers. How does Nepotism play into this—ask our Chancellors…Freedom of Information reports, emails, documents, strategic plans for funding and disclosures don’t lie—people do as tuition goes up 25-40% to benefit whom?.
If Y’all care to read the remaining 10 pages and we won’t even discuss the recent Supreme Court Victories against the S.B.A. and the no-shows work ethics at CUNY/SUNY or Norris, Or Dock or Fals or—lots of oars trying to bail out the economy and reporting theft only to be silenced. This past and present will continue Mr. President until awareness puts an end to it.

Forget about all the people who have received jobs thanks to the government and military…

You’d probably never pick up people terms from Barack Obama, because Barack obama is definitely an ideologue, not just a thinker. Obama’s intensifying philosophy is actually attached in a deep-rooted anger towards people that be successful by means of totally free areas and a deep-rooted sympathy toward people that succeed by way of area business and current market confrontation.

Incredible quest there. What occurred after? Good luck!
